Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
Given that AB = AC
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

But AB || DF (given ) and BC is transversal
∴ ∠1 = ∠3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)
From equation (1) and (2)
∠2 = ∠3
⇒ DF = CF . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)
Similarly we can prove
DE = BE
Now, DF + FA + AE +ED = CF + FA + AE + BE
= AC + AB [using equation (3) and (4)]
